Despite advances in medicine and technology, today's world is experiencing increasing suffering caused by the violence of war, the decline of social and moral values, and the problems of modern life. Frequently, however, it is not until we experience suffering in our own lives that we begin to ask ourselves the question: Why?
In this book, Herbert Carson examines the problem of suffering and offers clear answers based on a real understanding of it. He addresses topics such as the origin of evil, pain and death, mental disability, marital unhappiness, and depression. The author avoids a cold or academic approach, instead demonstrating the warmth and understanding of someone who has experienced suffering up close and is therefore familiar with the problems that affect those who suffer.
